Interior of a Working Class Home, rue de Romainville 1909 - 1910

Eugène Atget's "Interior of a Working Class Home, rue de Romainville" (1909-1910) is a poignant photograph that captures the everyday life of a Parisian home. The image is composed of a simple interior, with a fireplace, a chair draped with clothing, and a mirror reflecting a glimpse of another room. Atget was renowned for his documentation of Parisian streets and buildings, and this photograph exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its inhabitants. The worn furniture and everyday objects provide a glimpse into the life of a working-class family in early 20th century Paris.
